Uthappa obviously read the comments from the fans and decided to issue a clarification about the same. He took to Twitter and wrote that he had no plans to retire and he would continue playing the game until the time he enjoyed. “Just to clear the misconceptions out-there. I'm giving commentary a go coz I'm currently recovering from an ankle surgery. It's by no means takes away from how much I love competing and will continue to do so till I don't enjoy it anymore or can't physically (sic)," Uthappa wrote on Twitter.
